Sir, - As the new millennium approaches, would the civic authorities please build new supervised public toilets and washing facilities? Not only would these serve the general citizenry but they would also be of great assistance to our growing army of homeless young people. These facilities would also keep our streets cleaner. Needless to say, they should be free. If you were homeless, would you fork out 20p every time you wanted to go? - Yours, etc., John Devlin,
Erne Terrace, Baile Atha Cliath 2.
